StarTech.com - 4ft CAT6a Ethernet Cable - 10 Gigabit Shielded Snagless RJ45 100W PoE Patch Cord - 10GbE STP Network Cable w/Strain

This Cat 6a shielded Ethernet patch cable - also sold as a Cat6a LAN cable, internet cable or RJ45 network cord - carries high speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet across the full 100 m the standard allows, over a 24 AWG stranded bare copper core rated to 500 MHz. An F/UTP foil screen surrounds all four twisted pairs, which is what lets Cat6a hold 10GBASE-T at distance where an unshielded cable gives alien crosstalk room to build. Each RJ45 plug uses 50-micron gold-plated contacts wired to T568B, and a snagless molded boot protects the locking tab inside a dense patch field. Backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat6 ports, so it can go in ahead of the switch upgrade. Compatible with Cisco, Netgear, TP-Link, Ubiquiti, Linksys, ASUS, Synology and QNAP equipment. Stocked in 1, 3, 5, 7, 10ft, 14, 15, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ft - short jumpers through long Ethernet cables between racks. Measure the path the cable travels, not the straight line. Best for: 10 Gigabit uplinks, server rooms and patch panels. Not for: in-wall runs or outdoors.

This Cat 6a Ethernet cable - also sold as a Cat6a LAN cable, internet cable or RJ45 network cord - runs high speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 m over four twisted pairs of 24 AWG stranded bare copper rated to 500 MHz: a thicker conductor than the 26 AWG common at this price, and bare copper rather than copper-clad aluminum. A wired link removes the jitter and sudden drop-outs Wi-Fi introduces, which is why cabling a desk, console or streaming box is worth it even where wireless reaches. Each RJ45 plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts wired to T568B, and a snagless molded boot guards the locking tab behind a desk. Backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat6. Compatible with Netgear, TP-Link, ASUS, Linksys, Eero, Ubiquiti, Synology and QNAP gear. Stocked in 3, 5, 7, 10ft, 14, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 100 ft - short desk jumpers through long Ethernet cables between rooms. Measure the path the cable travels, not the straight line. Best for: home offices, gaming setups, routers, modems and smart TVs. Not for: in-wall runs, outdoors, or electrically noisy rooms.
